English text
Sweet warbling bird, with dulcet note,
To Delia's breast repair;
There be thy captive woes forgot,
For loves are nested there.
And while thy strains the tale impart,
Let this their burden be:
The pang, which rends my master's heart,
Is love, sweet maid, for thee.
Sweet warbling bird, with dulcet note,
To Delia's breast repair;
There be thy captive woes forgot,
For love and peace dwell there.
